I want 2 buy "clip-in" pedals; yet, I'm a frugal novice. R these safe/good option to experience the potential of clip-in pedals before buying them?

They require about the same movement of removing your feet from this type of pedal compared to clipless. I ride with these on my hybrid and bought a set of clipless for my road bike. These will get you used to having to pulll your foot out and these are harher to get your foot into sometimes compared to clipless.

I thought the same before I bought them. They won't give you the solid footing of a clip on. The strap will keep your instep fixed with I tight sinching. But unless you have size18 shoe your toes will wiggle.

I got a pair of these, one never fully "opened" so shoving my foot in was a bit dangerous at first. And also one of the pedals just straight up broke and fell off on my way to work after only 250 miles. The other one works fine. Generally it seems like they don't break, though. It's a gamble.

As long as your pedals have the screw holes in the front side of the pedal, they should work. If not, then u need to replace the pedals. That's what I had to do...but it's not a major expense and the clips work fine.

Yes you will, but they do not have asmuch surface area or grip as true platform pedals.

Pedals are always sold in pairs. If it helps, I've been using these pedals for about a year now - and they have been great! Great pedal for the price

No, you have to purchase new pedals if you want to use cycle shoes. I installed them easily and really like using the cycle shoes. I think you get a better workout. Just remember the threads may be reversed.

I started using a road bike in December with platform pedals, then added pedals with shinny chrome clips. I also tried pedals with cloth bands that were adjustable, then I went with a Shimano SPD pedals and a pair of Cannondale mountain bike shoes for the cleats. I rode with these until I started riding in a group ride on Sundays. There are many different levels of riders participating in a sunrise ride on a trail with many different elevation changes, and I changed to Shimano SPD-SL 5700 pedals and another pair of Road Bike shoes for the SPD-SL style cleats. The road bike shoes are quite precarious to walk about on wet concrete & tile, but great for riding. The shoes are light weight and I like the wide platform the pedals offered over the SPD style. I have fallen over "Clip Flopped" more times than necessary, failing to click out of the pedals when coming to a full stop. But the light weight shoes and increased road clearance using these pedals combined with the ability to pull through with a heel down pedal stroke with this pedal system, is well worth the embarrassing/dangerous learning experience of clipping out of the pedals before stopping the last several months. I still have a ugly steel framed multi-colored Grocery Getter I will chain to about any non-movable object while shopping, and that bicycle has the pedals with cloth bands. They fit my trainers better than the shinny clips... I am in the process of assembling a 630MM fixed gear bicycle and will again use the cloth band clip style pedals for my trainers... MT

Pedals come in pairs. I use these on my hybrid bike and love them. They are great for riding on city streets where I shouldn't clip in. Then when I'm out in the countryside, I can clip in and get more power for hill climbing.

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

No never. It's not safe to do that. Get a handicap approved pedal extension kit for DOT approved usage. These are for bicycles. http://www.drivemastermobility.com/pedals.htm

Yes, that is correct. You can either purchase pedals from us separately or use pedals that you already use for your road bike. Thanks, Andy

If you're talking about the pedal than i would say yes. But make sure to do your research before, just to make sure.

Hello Vinicius, I am new to clip-less pedals so you will need to due your homework. I use them with Shimano RO88 shoes and they work great. The install was easy and I enjoy the extra movement (side-to-side) for my knees. Maybe you can look up the RO88 and compare them to your SH-11

I have never had clip less road pedals before I only used mountain bike clip less pedals which have a way smaller cleat. But I saw these at a great low price so I bought them and there are amazing and really easy to learn on they have a tension adjustment so really easy to unclip if u want or nice and tight too they are really light and so smooth and strong I really suggest buying these! I work in a bicycle shop and everybody was amazed with the quality of the pedals!

I ahve been around bikes my whole life and from my experience all pedals are threaded the same.. The pedals themselves are what are different. (Size, etc) I have 2 sets of wellgo pedals and am very happy with them, but I picked the right pedal for the type of riding I am doing.. The small pegs on these pedals grip very good on the bottom of the type of shoes I wear when I am mtn biking so I love it. but if I am fumbling around and the pedal hits my shin.. it will take a junk of skin!

Multiple options vs single options and longer loop times. I own both pedals and love them.

I would say yes because of the value. But you must remember if your learning how to play those random squeaks can turn people away faster than nails on a chalk board. I would master playing before going electric. Every small error is vet prominent when amplified. Good luck still a great buy regardless.
